Question

Last year, Jess saw x dramas and y comedies at the movie theater. If she went to the theater no more than 8 times, which inequality best represents the number of movies she saw?

x + y < 8
x + y > 8
x + y ≤ 8
x + y ≥ 8

Answer 1

Answer: The correct inequality that best represents the number of movies Jess saw is:

x + y ≤ 8

This inequality states that the sum of the number of dramas (x) and comedies (y) that Jess saw at the movie theater is less than or equal to 8 times (no more than 8 times) she went to the theater.
